Alo Named National Player of the Week

NORMAN — Oklahoma redshirt senior Jocelyn Alo has been named the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I Player of the Week for her record-breaking performance this weekend in Hawaii. The NFCA announced the honor on Tuesday.

Alo broke the tie with Lauren Chamberlain to become the NCAA All-Time Home Run Leader on Friday night with career home run No. 96.

In storybook fashion, Alo set the record in her home state of Hawaii as the Sooners beat Hawaii 11-0 in six innings with Alo going 3-for-3 with three RBI.

The Hauula, Hawaii, native had a spectacular weekend, finishing a combined 7-for-9 (.778) with three extra-base hits, seven RBIs and one historic home run. She slugged 1.333 on the weekend, held an on-base clip of .867 and helped lead the Sooners to a 4-0 performance, beating Baylor, Cal and Hawaii twice. All four wins came via run-rule.

Alo and the Sooners return to action this weekend to play in the Hall of Fame Classic, March 18-20, at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. OU, the host school, meets Sam Houston, Indiana, San Diego, Houston and Iowa in the tournament.

Tickets are still on sale via SoonerSports.com/tickets and the OU games can be seen on SoonerSports.tv and heard on the radio via The Franchise 2 (103.3 FM/1560 AM) in Oklahoma and nationwide on the TuneIn app with OU play-by-play announcer Chris Plank on the call.
